SharpLink just flipped the script—and the Ethereum Foundation's dominance. The company added a staggering 20,279 ETH to its reserves this week, officially surpassing the crypto giant's holdings. Who needs a foundation when you've got a war chest?
How'd they do it? While the Ethereum Foundation plays the long game with grants and research, SharpLink's aggressive accumulation strategy reads like a hedge fund's wet dream. No white papers, no roadmaps—just cold, hard stacking.
One finance insider quipped: 'Guess they missed the memo about diversification.' But when ETH's your golden goose, why bet on anything else?
